Understanding the true biological function of Plant Non Specific Lipid Transf...
Non specific lipid transfer proteins are a family of basic, cysteine rich proteins found in a wide range of plant species. The biotechnological role of these proteins in beer... -
Structure formation in catanionic surfactant/polymer templated inorganic film...
Recently we have been investigating the mineralization of polymer-surfactant films to create thicker and more robust self-supporting membranes. Our previous experiments used the... -
The interaction of Plant Defensins with Model Lipid Membranes : Understanding...
Plants do not have the sophisticated immunoglobulin immune systems of vertibrates, instead they posses a series of stimuli based responses which defend against pathogentic... -
The role of tryptophan in puroindoline/purothionin cooperative binding to bio...
The puroindoline (PIN) and purothionin (PTH) families of polypeptides both occur in wheat and are implicated in antipathogenic defence mechanisms, and of interest for potential...
